Research direction

Start by running the linked CodeSandbox reproduction and inspect the useVirtualizer behavior when initialOffset exceeds the scrollElement's available scroll area. Trace where that condition leads to the flushSync warning, then verify the reproduction no longer emits errors or warnings when the offset is out of range.
